  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia But it keeps happening time after time and it is so difficult to get through to a human being (someone in a call centre in India) & when you do there’s no explanation of why it keeps happening. I run two small businesses and am reliant on a god quality reliable internet service.

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia hi can you help me sign in been trying to contact customer services for over 2 hrs tonight

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Said it would be fixed by 3pm - here we are at half four & still no service.

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Yes I don’t think so. You are certainly not marching with us. You haven’t replied to my tweets, answered my phone calls or made any effort at solving our problem. We upgraded to 500mg this week & have nothing but problems. Currently no internet. Thank god for @EE

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia Your ‘efforts at customer service’ don’t appear to be working since I’ve not had a reply to my last tweet or Facebook message. But I am nothing if not persistent so I WILL keep trying until someone at virgin takes responsibility for offering some customer service #virginmedia

  • Davogray David Davo Gray (@Davogray) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. I’m doing online checks at the moment. There are no problems in the area according to your checks. Just seems to happen a lot. It’s very frustrating and trying to speak to someone takes forever.

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia And just to be clear. I’m fine with things not working properly. That happens. I’m not fine with a total lack of customer care.

  • pcjcarter Pamela Carter (@pcjcarter) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia better sort their service out before 9pm for the #HandsmaidsTale 🤬🤬

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia just spoke to, hands down, the rudest child I’ve ever spoke to. Morgan in the cancellations department. Seriously he was lucky we weren’t face to face. Little brat.

  • knowmadiqx2x knowmadiqx2x (@knowmadiqx2x) reported from Manchester, England

    @JZief @virginmedia M19 levenshulme down too #virginmediabroadbandblues

  • p0welly Andy Powell (@p0welly) reported from Oldham, England

    @IanSlaterPhoto1 @libertygal72 Nope, the bank issue you a new PIN, it's not the same as knowing what your old PIN was. The issue isn't do much the post, it's storing passwords in plain text which @virginmedia have repeatedly claimed they don't do.

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Hi it’s media service I cannot set up an account please help

  • rian951 Rian Murray (@rian951) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Well unless you can help with a booster - customer services wanted £360 for an EE one! Most other providers offer WiFi Calling!

  • AlanStockton11 Alan_MPS (@AlanStockton11) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia think you need to understand your customers are your business shocking speaking to your so called customer service team today didn’t care that my service has not worked now for a month, after a so called engineer was in my home for 5 mins saying all working 😢

  • AndyPJo1 Andy Johnson Media (@AndyPJo1) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Finally got through. Total loss of service - not expected to be fully back on until 29th of August! That’s nearly a week! Your service is appalling and you have the gall to be charging more. We will be looking at changing suppliers immediately.

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Thanks EE. Do you do home broadband cos @virginmedia are shockingly bad and has the WORST #customerservice I’ve had the misfortune to experience. #jobsworths apparently the machine Einstein “won’t let them” send out an engineer to fix the prob they caused.

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    For the second time today @virginmedia we have no #internet. Your super fast broadband is super slow. Your customer service is non existent. We have rang all week. Every day. Have not spoken to a human. We are cancelling your awful service. People #beware of #vigrinmedia.

  • Davogray David Davo Gray (@Davogray) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done all the checks I’m supposed to do and it’s still not working.

  • Davogray David Davo Gray (@Davogray) reported from Stockport, England

    No internet again @virginmedia must be an idiot to pay £51 a month for this crap. Not for much longer.

  • CaroleFossey Carole Fossey (@CaroleFossey) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Oh my god @virginmedia you installed our super fast 500mg broadband this week and since then we have had HALF the download we had before. You are impossible to reach by phone. Been on hold for over an hour to be cut off. Today zero internet. Sort it out or we cancel. #hopeless

  • amandaJdockery Amanda Dockery (@amandaJdockery) reported

    @virginmedia When was this also like I said previously I went on webchat for over two hours with no help plus the person just ended it!!! I have no trust with Virgin Media their Customer Services and Complaints need far more training!

  • HavenDK Michael Chessell (@HavenDK) reported

    @Sneak_666 @virginmedia I’ll jump on this. Left virgin due to the prices going up and not needing the whole service now. The retention team called me and offered me exactly what I needed (broadband only m200) for £22. Vodafone had sold me 50-60mbps for £19 so thought it was a great deal.

  • lynda_lyndatw Lynda Rolington (@lynda_lyndatw) reported

    @virginmedia I have given up trying to find an email help address to use so using T. instead. My Virgin email account online will not let me in. Comes up Error 403 Forbidden. Help !!

  • Ant_Not_a_Num Anthony Martin (@Ant_Not_a_Num) reported

    @Del_101 Try a different device on that same port/cable. If issue stays, it’s not your virgin media box.

  • AutismTwinsUs Autism, Twins & Us (@AutismTwinsUs) reported

    @virginmedia shambles really service status says all ok but the whole estover estate has no broadband PL6 8 , not just me , hope it’s restored before kids get up at 6am , why when it’s a wide issue is the service status saying it’s my equipment

  • sdempsey Shane Dempsey (@sdempsey) reported

    Seem to be having a Virgin Media broadband problem tonight. Some addresses not reachable, or perhaps DNS not resolving

  • fagcat Eileen Harper (@fagcat) reported

    @virginmedia Once again, Wrestlemania is upon us and your internet is not working. Can you explain what the frig is up now?

  • claireb_24 Claire Brown (@claireb_24) reported

    @virginmedia I have already made a formal complaint & even that's more complicated than it needs. I have emailed and got told to call, have called and been told to email. I made my 1st complaint on the 13th March which was about a week after my first issue...2nd April, still have no internet!

  • chrislakin1968 Chris Lakin (@chrislakin1968) reported

    @virginmedia On asking Nadia from your disconnection team to terminate my contract as your price was too high. I was told I hadn't done my research properly in to your competitions offerings, In general Nadia was very rude.
